No, it actually blows me away. Well, not exactly. I'm not in so much shock because we already did this and went for about 10 minutes and realized we didn't start the cameras. Oopsie daisies. Whoops, it was fantastic though. Well the remote wasn't working. Blame it on Tucker. Tucker the cameraman. I think it's our fault for leaving the he says to turn that off after every recording session I think we leave it on to the batteries. We leave it on every time so the battery drains very fast
Starting point is 00:02:50 Yeah, oopsie daisies. Well, it's Tucker's fault for getting a piece of equipment that even has You're supposed to turn off because he knows you and I are not he knows what our capabilities are He knows we don't have the memory or the attention to whatever to do a task like that that's reoccurring. Or the simple discipline. No, absolutely not. That's the thing we lack most probably. So well, I have ADHD.
Starting point is 00:03:14 It's in my Twitter bio too. So I have an excuse, but what about you? I'm just kidding. I don't I You have you self diagnosed ADHD a self diagnosed ADHD just like me. I'm also self diagnosed autistic Yes, well, I'm self diagnosed I have an anxiety disorder and I'm sad so I'm I have a self-diagnosed depression as well okay man the autism one I'm not sure if that one's self-diagnosed and I'm self-diagnosed Chinese oh okay hey man I'm not gonna step on your toes I just
Starting point is 00:03:57 feel like there's a part of me like in my heart that like it's like the motherland's calling me and it's not the United States not after Cheetos man is back again Now I need to get political I haven't heard the term Cheeto man It actually took me a second to to realize connect the dots. Yeah, I was like Cheeto man and then and then I remember I Remember the uh, sorry. I remember the uh. Sorry, I just, I just love that fucking. The orange guy.
Starting point is 00:04:31 And by the way, stop self-diagnosing. Go see a professional and a professional will more than not help you. Sometimes you can find the wrong profession. Right, right. I don't actually... Not the wrong profession, but sometimes the caretaker is not the right one. The wrong doctor? Yeah. It's not the good doctor, it's the bad doctor.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Yeah, that's why some people go to multiple doctors if something's wrong. Your second opinion. Yeah. I don't actually have ADHD to my knowledge. I just self-diagnosed. But you have OCD. I do have OCD. Diagnosed? Diagnosed, yes. Since I was in high knowledge. I just self-diagnosed. But you have OCD. I do have OCD. Diagnosed. Diagnosed, yes.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Since I was in high school. I got that one diagnosed in like. By what, a guidance counselor? Dude! By a therapist, okay? That specialized in obsessive compulsive disorders. I was in 11th grade, and I got, or maybe I was in 12th grade,
Starting point is 00:05:21 and I got diagnosed and put on fucking Lexapro. Did they give you a free A plus to help your GPA out? Mm-hmm. I was- To kind of uh, negate the negatives of- Oh, I can't focus because I have OCD. No, give them an A plus in English. It's pretty sick. Yes!
Starting point is 00:05:38 Also, just want to say something for the uh, the chat video enjoyers. Sorry the virgin audio watchers you won't be able to get a piece of this but if you direct your attention to the center of the screen Luke will be zooming in Luke is zooming in very close there is a let's just say sexy we want to see the whole character out a little bit let's just say you got a sexy little piece of meat for you guys to look at one of those figurines that go for a high price in little Tokyo.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I can only let the audio listeners kind of theorize what that would look like, but I'll only let the video enjoyers be able to enjoy it. That's right, because there's no way to look at that and not enjoy it. Here, I'll even give it a little rotate just for the camera so people can see the dimensions and the depth. There's a lot
Starting point is 00:06:25 Of detail the curves. It's beautiful. It's really honestly like kind of turning me on the curves are Just like a Goldilocks and the three bears what porridge just right? Oh, okay I thought you were saying her curves are like porridge. No saying she's thick, you know, yeah I mean she is taking hot? Yeah. I chose the wrong day to wear gray sweatpants. I'll just say that and I will keep my legs crossed for the rest of the episode. I chose the wrong day to wear no pants. God damn, I know you didn't. Okay, real question. I don't know why this popped into my head. Just picture this. You're driving down the interstate
Starting point is 00:07:05 minding your own business in your own car. You get pulled over by the cop. He walks it over. You roll down your window. He looks down. Your cock and balls are out. You're not wearing any pants. No pants. No underwear. You're in your car. Shoes and socks? Yeah. No underwear and no pants. Will you get a citation for it? That's public nudity. I'm in my car. Yeah, but think about it. I'm in a private domicile. Cars don't count. And you refuse to be harassed, bitch. Breaking bad reference. Maybe a motor home is different, like an RV, but a car
Starting point is 00:07:42 I don't think counts as a private property like to be naked in because also uh what about people who change in their car like at like a national park or something disgusting and illegal and immoral I actually uh just think about it if you have sex in your car and the police catch you you know you can get charged with car sex. Now on the opposite end of the spectrum, a police officer walks up to your car as you're driving down the interstate, you just got pulled over, he's walking up to your car, you roll down the window, you look down, shoes and socks, but his cock and balls are out, no pants. He's got the belt with the gun and everything, he's got the top with the badges and the radio.
Starting point is 00:08:23 What can you do about it? I'd say uh gee whiz officer. I'm trying to be like like he's like confident he's just like yep I just don't feel like wearing pants today they can't prove nothing. What are the cops gonna arrest me? Sitting in court and like looking at it like I'm trying to imagine what that footage would look like. It's just funny in my brain. I like the idea of like, it's, they use the body cam footage in court and he walks over and then like looks down. You just see his cock and balls hanging out.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah, I don't have to, or you just see the reflection of his cock and balls and like the car door. Officer, where are your trousers? The reflection of the car door from the body cam is good. It's very subtle. But that's like the proof. But it's like fish-eyed, because the warp,
Starting point is 00:09:10 it's like fish-eyed up close. So it's very... I don't know. I mean, what? Is he going to arrest himself for wearing no pants? No. I guess not. You know what's actually crazy that I'm thinking about now?
Starting point is 00:09:24 If I woke up this morning, or let's, OK, tomorrow morning, for example. OK. If I woke not. You know what's actually crazy that I'm thinking about now? If I woke up this morning, or let's, okay, tomorrow morning for example. Okay. If I woke up. Because you already woke up this morning. Yes, and I can't use that hypothetical because it's already, the time has passed. But if I woke up and I got dressed for work
Starting point is 00:09:38 where I put my shoes and my socks on and my shirt and my backpack, because I wear a backpack to work like a high schooler, but no underwear and no pants. So, you know, exposed penis and testicles. I wonder if I could make it through the whole day from home to here and the rest of my daily routine with no pants and not get arrested or reported or whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:02 It's kind of like just like the bystander effect where everyone notices, but they don't do anything about it. Like I probably could you know obviously get in my car no problem with no pants on. I think you'd have trouble getting into the office. No no I actually think I guarantee that I could walk from my car into the office. Think of the types of people that are standing outside by their their cars smoking cigarettes if they're outside but if they are dude they'll definitely drum up some of the okay well what here's what they'll do though maybe worst case scenario they call the police but by
Starting point is 00:10:36 that time I'm already in the building they might assault you they don't sleep they don't know what suite I'm in they knocked you out of the parking lot I don't think so because if they think you start jerking off they don't know what suite I'm in. They'd knock you out of the parking lot. I don't think so. Because if they come over I'll start jerking off. They don't want anything to do with that. They'd think you were trying to make them gay. Maybe I am. Stop!
Starting point is 00:10:53 Oh! Oh! Like covering their eyes to shield the gay thoughts. I'm still waiting for the movie where the scientist accidentally makes himself gay. Like he spills a beaker of some kind of potion. No, he mixes the wrong potions together and he goes. Closes his eyes, all he sees is cock.
Starting point is 00:11:15 We're giving Daily Wire a lot of good material here that they could use. Well they can't, you know, we publicly on the record have said these ideas now so they can't steal them. And the super villain is like an electric man. Because of electric shock therapy. Oh, okay. Something like that.
Starting point is 00:11:33 I was thinking like Sharkboy and Lava Girl, like Mr. Electric. He's like that, but the metaphor within this movie would be that of... But wouldn't that be good though? Because in the Daily Wire's line. Oh true, then the superhero would be Mr. Senior Electric, sorry, because Mr. Electric's already taken. Right, right, Senior Electric, because the protagonist
Starting point is 00:11:56 would want to be shocked to turn him straight, you know? And then, how about this? Mike Pence is like a little villain sidekick kind of like Jafar's parrot and he's Mike Vice President Mike Pencil. He's a pencil. Like done in the Annoying Orange style. But maybe the guy keeps them either in his shirt pocket so he's sticking out or behind his ear like this. Is his head on the eraser? Is he like long ways like, he bounces around on the eraser?
Starting point is 00:12:34 Does he bounce around on the point? No, I think that he stands on, the eraser is like his feet and then it's pointed up and his face is on the pencil. Okay, and like the top, like the pencil shaving shit is like That's a head. Yeah, the lead is his head and the lead would be yeah. Yeah, his hair Sorry, and then the the antagonist carries him around in his shirt pocket, and he's always making little quips Yep, he like chimes in senior electrics pocket. Yep, and he'll chime in and do like a little Like add on to what whatever the antac what what senior electric said. So the villain is then who? Just oh the guy that accidentally turned
Starting point is 00:13:10 himself gay. By doing this. No, spilling beaker vials. Remember we had to switch the hero because this is now a Daily Wire movie we had to switch who was the hero and who was the antagonist. Well no the hero to fit their like social their social outlook. Well think about it the hero- To fit their like social, their social outlook. Well think about it, the hero could be like the main character is a mad scientist. Well he'd have to be an anti-hero. And he loves- I don't want these, I don't want any sort of messaging in the Daily Wire film to positively reinforce that maybe, I don't know, homosexuals are people? No, I agree. With feelings? and that they're not just put on this earth to just antagonize my beliefs in my faith in God I have it I
Starting point is 00:13:50 Have I just don't think that's a that's a slippery slope to go down It's slippery and I don't want to touch it and we're not going to with when we direct and write our daily wire movie But how about if there's a mad scientist? Okay. He's mad about monkey aka pussy. He's mad about vagina He just like he can't get enough of this stuff. Monkey madness. Exactly. That's a great quest in RuneScape. But anyway, basically.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Is there a quest in RuneScape called Monkey Madness? And Monkey Madness too. Okay, well continue this train of thought. I've completed Monkey Madness by the way. Continue the train of thought so we don't. Basically, he. Sorry, I'm just gonna be rotating this so the video drawers can still, you know.
Starting point is 00:14:29 He loves pussy, and he would never, ever in a million, never once in his life has he had a gay thought. And one night he's in his lab, and he's mixing potions together. Because what he wants to create is the ultimate cure for being gay, so everyone can enjoy pussy as much as he does. So he's going to create like the gay vaccine or antidote.
Starting point is 00:14:54 The anti-dick, because it makes gay people straight. And he mixes the wrong potions and it blows up in his face turns him gay. So now all he can think about is cock. So basically I think that he should go through the movie trying to turn himself straight again but then at the end he realizes, wait, it's a choice. So he just chooses to be straight again. I was about to say how are we going to rope back the choice in this because we're getting into the, they might even say no to the movie because what are you talking, he spills chemicals
Starting point is 00:15:24 on him and becomes gay It's a choice that I'm just as Ben Shapiro was in the room being gay is a is a is a choice to defy God So hypothetically speaking I'm in the lab mixing potions together. Actually, I think like modern-day Ben Shapiro Jordan Peterson esque Beliefs Jordan Peterson the guy from Key and Peele? No. Oh.
Starting point is 00:15:47 He's the, oh my God. Oh, sorry, I'm confusing him with someone else. Oh my God. The world is a cruel place. He cries a lot. As he's eating like a raw steak. Oh, this is the best diet I've ever had. I love him on like.
Starting point is 00:15:59 His like beet red, his veins are bulging from his neck. He's on like an interview on camera on Zoom and he's just chewing on a raw steak the whole time Stripping little bits of I was saying something. I can't remember you were saying Basically the mad scientist or Ben Shapiro in in modern-day Ben Shapiro. Yeah. Well, I think their view. Oh, yeah their views are Being gay is a obstacle God put in your way to prove your faith essentially. To test you.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Yeah, it's like we all have these urges, you know, yours just happens to be to force yourself to fall in love and have children with a woman. I think that's like their stance on it. I love it. Is that they don't have a... No, no, I think, yeah, they like wouldn't have, they wouldn't go to like a gay wedding because still.
Starting point is 00:16:50 We've all had gay thoughts, okay? So hypothetically speaking, I have a thought where I'm gobbling cock, right? We all have those thoughts, but that's God testing us to prove our faith. You have to block it out and choose to be straight. That's the logic though, that like the gay conversion camps and stuff it's like and God made it so that you know William and I at summer camp all those years ago we we just had to go our separate ways and
Starting point is 00:17:18 there were no feelings there and it was just God testing me in my faith. Oh my God by the way someone mailed it into us in a past mail video, but they mailed us a VHS titled The Report, The Gay Agenda. Oh wow. And I popped it into my VCR. I recently set up like a VCR station on my desk at home to connect to my computer to try to like digitize tapes
Starting point is 00:17:43 and put things through the VCR and back for future videos of ours. Wicked cool. Yeah, wicked sweet. But I watched the gay agenda, the report, because on the front it was saying USA Today said that it's a riveting, harrowing tale. And they had a bunch of other big publications vouching for it. So
Starting point is 00:18:05 I popped in and watched it. And it's basically about the gay epidemic that's currently plaguing America. And they showed like, you know, videos of like pride parades where, you know, guys are touching each other's bottoms and stuff and how our children are being exposed to this and what I loved was they have several interviews in it with ex-gays and they're honestly like, very incredibly gay but they're like saying they're no longer gay and I looked one of the guys up that is no longer gay, he gave it up so he could be with women. I looked him up and I'm just imagining this all as one long run on sentence story.
Starting point is 00:18:50 It is. So I put the VHS in and then there were these gay guys who weren't gay but they were obvious. Actually they were gay but they... They're not anymore. No listen, listen, this is very important. The guy who was the ex-gay who had gone to conversion therapy and now. His name was Jedidiah. He uh, his name was Luke. But basically I looked him up modern day and he's happily married to a man. So yeah. Happy endings. Yeah, yeah happy endings.
Starting point is 00:19:24 So crazy VHS. Maybe we Yeah, happy endings so crazy VHS Maybe we'll watch it on stream or something. It's pretty pretty nuts. I Just I don't think I need the confirmation bias. No I yeah, I feel you but you know gay people be awesome Just like ads be awesome Pride month awesome just like ads be awesome pride month here's some gay ads I don't know if they're gay they're probably not gay ads so here's some ads that exist in the society where gay things also exist and these ads are recorded during pride
Starting point is 00:20:01 month doesn't make them gay doesn't make them gay. Doesn't make them gay, but it does. Ryan and I were picturing. They have the aura of gayness for just existing in a world where gay people exist and Pride Month exists. And when you're listening to the ads, just know that I was visualizing penis the whole time in solidarity for Pride Month. So there is like a level of gayness to the ads, but.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Yeah, ad breaks. For most of the year fancy underwear technology seems a bit ridiculous. Breathable, quick dry, moisture wicking, it's a bit overkill, I get it. But then summer hits and suddenly you're gonna gain some uncomfortable moist spots in your nether regions, I bet. And summer's coming fast, so you're gonna need to be prepared for that, because it's also gotta, not only will it like sweat a little bit more, and it'll be a little more uncomfortable in your normal underwear, but you'll stink. You'll smell really bad.
Starting point is 00:21:02 That is, unless you're prepared. With some MeUndies. MeUndies has something for everyone this summer. Their micromodal fabric is so comfortable, so breathable. It's like comfortable, breathable underwear. Especially the ball caddy, which helps prevent from bat-winging. As the kids say. I personally love MeUndies. I still, I say, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I said, you know, they have a bunch of colors, a bunch of different designs.

There's there's the two months ago Q&A Yeah on the floor and then there's the recent Q&A on the floor We've literally moved everything perfectly out of shot But behind things all around in the corners aren't like where the cameras are It's bad. It's real bad. No, it's awesome No, I meant bad as in like the way Michael Jackson said it, you know Michael Jackson said it, you know? Bad.
Starting point is 00:24:42 I'm bad, I'm bad. Jim, I went to a gym like, oh! Fucking, you know, fuck, dude, this month. Is it Michael month? It's the anniversary of his death. When did he die? June 25th, 2009. Well, he didn't die yet.
Starting point is 00:24:57 So don't put a damper on my birthday. You're right. We can grieve after the celebration. We can grieve after your big three zero. In fact, this episode, this is the last episode you and I are recording in your 20s. I know. Isn't that crazy? And boy did they go by.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yeah? Because now, I mean, when this episode comes out, you'll be 30. How's it feel? We have a lot of viewers that are currently in college, graduating college, fresh in their 20s. Can you give them some wisdom? Some are even creeping into the same territory I'm going into. Some are midway in their journey because I remember turning 25 and going, oh no, I'm halfway through my 20s I remember thinking 24 felt old and now that I'm 28 I Feels weird still to like you do like it's just relative
Starting point is 00:25:55 Yeah, it's just relative to how you currently are I remember thinking 16 felt old. I mean like I remember when I was like super young and being like only five more years till I can drive a car or three more years so like and that was I think the age was 15 to get your permit or something. South Carolina it's 15 and then you get your license at 15 and a half. Yes. So I thought you could only get your your permit that you still have like restrictions on it. License you can get six months. And then at 17 you can start. Oh okay. So it's like, god damn we really have fucking 15 year olds going, that's what dude, are there 15 year olds driving around here? Have you ever driven in Glendale? Dude. A really
Starting point is 00:26:42 like nice G-Wagon with a 15 year old cutting you off behind the wheel that actually Scares me that there are 15 year olds up up and driving around. Yeah, it's I don't want to say that You know teenagers shouldn't be allowed to drive. No, of course not. They got to learn some time the reason the age is low though and I believe some states it's lower because of teenagers having jobs on farms and stuff. They need to be able to drive. But I got my permit when I was 15 and then I got my restricted,
Starting point is 00:27:15 I believe when I was 15 and a half, restricted for non-Americans. That just means your license. When you guys, I think I started driving to school like senior year. So I was 17 when I started like driving to school. And I had to check what age I was when I had my job. I was either 16 or 17 or something like that.
Starting point is 00:27:37 I remember I started working at Food Lion. I applied for a grocery store job when I was 14 and they turned me down. I applied for a movie theater job, multiple, and they all turned me down. And I for a movie theater job multiple and they all turned me down and I was upset. That was my dream job because you get free movies. And I've heard it's absolutely terrible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Everyone I've ever known who's worked in a movie theater said it sucks. Did Luke work in a movie theater? I don't know. This is not a bit. I'm just I thought I feel like he did. Not that I remember but maybe he did. Luke put your answer on screen right now. If you worked in a movie theater?
Starting point is 00:28:08 Okay. And then maybe give an explanation of why you, if the answer is yes, how did you like it? And if the answer is no, give your best guess as to why Matt thought that you had worked at a movie theater. And give also your explanation on why you didn't work at a movie theater because it was obviously, you have free will, you have, you know.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And you love movies, you're a movie man. And movie boy, sorry. I feel bad for the audio listeners, so Luke, just maybe throw in like a fart sound effect right here for them. Oh, they love that shit. Oh, they go nuts for it. They go B, A,N-A-S.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Bananas. Recently I spelled bananas, I think it was on a stream or something, and I didn't realize it until later when I was looking back, but I think I just spelled bannas. I said B-A-N-A-S. I said B-A-N-A-S. But what were we saying before we got on the movie theater?
Starting point is 00:29:04 You're asking me. Oh, driving. Oh yeah, that. And then before that you were like, What were we saying before we got on the movie theater? You're asking me. Oh, driving. Oh yeah, that. And then before that you were like, how does it feel to be 30? But then we got sidetracked. All right, we're going to get, we're going to work backwards now. So Luke worked in a movie theater and maybe in my reality he did and I'm leaving it there.
Starting point is 00:29:20 I don't want to know if he did or not. I'm not going to watch the episode. It's like Schrodinger's movie theater. So basically, I remember my first drive by myself. I drove to church. Nice. Church wasn't in session. I just needed to drive somewhere
Starting point is 00:29:36 to experience the fondness of driving. Well, when you're young, I remember, when you first get the car and you're able to go out you find every excuse. All of a sudden, you want to pick up a few groceries. You'll just find little pit stops, little errands that you need to do and want to do. Just any excuse really. A lot of the excuses like, I'm gonna go hang out with such and such. And then, whoop.
Starting point is 00:30:05 I like driving so much when I was 15 and 16 that I just started going to the gas station. I'm like, I'm gonna go get a soda. Just so I could drive, not even to actually get the soda. I was like CVS, just to get like, and I'd end up getting like chips and a drink or some shit or like some candy or whatnot. But it was so exciting at first.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Because that's the first time you truly or like some candy or whatnot, but. You're so exciting. I know. At first, because. Because you get, that's the first time you truly have a semblance of like independence. Yes. Yeah, that's definitely it. Because. You're not under anyone's thumb. Up to that point you have to have a parent.
Starting point is 00:30:39 It's a huge responsibility. Huge. You are like responsible for your life and other people's like lives Maybe too much responsibility for a 15 year old. Yeah, whose brain still has a decade and maybe We'll go the other direction also, maybe a little too much responsibility for a 95 year old No With age comes wisdom
Starting point is 00:31:02 Elderly people should be allowed to drive and I'm glad that there are no laws in place to make them get retested for driving. Every few years. Dude, if it was possible to make a senior lane where it somehow made it so that they would only have to drive in a straight line, just gas pedal and brake. Dude, first of all, it'd be like Oldsmobiles going
Starting point is 00:31:21 20 miles under the speed limit. And then just. Yeah, but they're up there now. And then a bunch of burnt wreckage. But basically, cause for those not American that go, how the F does the American driving system work? When you get your permit, it's a written test, there's no driving test for that one.
Starting point is 00:31:40 But then you have to have an adult, like a guardian I think, in the passenger seat with you every time you drive, and that's for six months until you're eligible for your restricted. So I remember driving anywhere, even to go to the gas station, I had to force my dad to come with me. But after even that, you have a curfew. Yes, yeah, you can't drive when it's night.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Is it just like nighttime? Do they give you a time or is it just like nighttime? It just said dusk to dawn, you can't drive. I think I try to fudge it sometimes, it's like, oh, the sun's definitely not down. But oh my God, just getting that restricted and going on that first drive, it was scary. I remember being very scared
Starting point is 00:32:21 because I was like fully on my own controlling like four tons of steel and explosive fuel At a high speed you turn up the music as loud as you want. The windows are rolled down. I remember like probably Even when I when I first moved out here a majority of the time I would just drive with the windows down Oh, it's so nice all the just black like blast music I don't do that too much anymore just cuz on the freeway. Yeah, also LA air is just gross Yeah, and it's that time of the year in Los Angeles now where it's getting a little too warm to have the windows down Because the wind is not cooked. Yeah, dude. We're about to get fucking roasted There's a heat dome right now over Southern, California
Starting point is 00:33:06 I heard it on the radio due to the two record levels of co2 in the atmosphere above us Oh nice. I know right God. I love co2. I do co2 Can't get enough of the stuff and h2o. Hmm h2o is alright, but you know what's better what co2? Oh shit Yeah, okay. You got me again. CO2 is pretty sick. Carbon dioxide, baby. Love the stuff. Carbon monoxide is cool too, but carbon dioxide...
Starting point is 00:33:33 Woo! Carbon monoxide is epic. But... I thought you were gonna continue. Ain't no but. It's just epic. Yeah. I thought you were gonna continue ain't no but it's just epic. Yeah If you everyone has the carbon monoxide
Starting point is 00:33:51 Celebration alarms for when they detect them in their house Because it's such a rare gas to appear and it's so exciting The alarm goes off so people get excited and start celebrating. Oh my God! Honey, come home! There's water on my nock side! Oh, no, that's odorless. I can't smell it! I can't smell it! That's the thing about it. That's the thing that makes it so great!
Starting point is 00:34:11 Ah, but if only I had some sort of smell. Baby. I can bring in a bucket of gasoline and we can start sniffing that. Shut all the windows so we can trap it inside. Please! This is rare. Oh, ooh, can we do that thing? Oh, turn on your car in the garage and close the door. Oh
Starting point is 00:34:30 It's like I smell gasoline and carbon monoxide best of both worlds I I'm such an idiot. I I got home one night. Did you fall asleep with your car? No, no, no But I had to really know down and like I had my window down in my car, and I pulled into my garage, and I shut the garage door, and then, do you ever just, like, when you park, you just get distracted on your phone? Master made, but I'm just euphemism.
Starting point is 00:34:57 You just get distracted on your phone for like 10 minutes? Yeah. Yeah. I just did that, and I was just distracted on my phone. My car was still running, cause I was listening to music. Isn't it on wheels? Nevermind. Come on.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Come on man, you are on it today. That's why they call me Onnit McGee. They do. Like, Onnit. Ryan Onnit McGee. By Onnit. Onnit's my middle name. Onnit referring to crack. Yes. But it's my middle name. On it referring to crack.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Yes. But it makes the podcast great. But I can use it also in a general sense if you don't know about the crack thing. Which you don't brag about necessarily but. It's nothing to brag about especially when crack is so hard to come by these, on these trying times. Well crack is whack is what they say.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Whack means cool. Yeah, that's exactly. Someone misunderstanding that statement and thinking they mean like crack is whack. Yeah baby. So they go out and seek it out. It's the same guy that gets excited about carbon monoxide. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:58 But yeah, I sat in my garage for like 10, 15 minutes on my phone, started getting a little lightheaded and I was like, and then I realized, oh, my car is running with the garage door shut and my window's down. I could have just died. Carbon monoxide, you just get sleepy, and you just, and the next thing you know. A lot of people die in their sleep
Starting point is 00:36:16 because of the poisoning, they don't notice it, so they fall asleep. Not a bad way to die. That's probably one of the best ways. Not a fun way to die. Cause you're dead. Well yeah, but if you're going to die, ways. Not a fun way to die. Cause you're dead. Well yeah, but if you're going to die, that's a more fun way.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Yeah. Cause you ever have existential like, Fuck, one day there's gonna be a time where I'm just, I close my eyes for the last time and I cease consciousness. Dude, I have been thinking about that more recently for some reason. Where like, I'll just have this sudden little like, Cause that is going to happen. Yeah. It's like, I'm going to die. There's like i'm going to die there's going to come
Starting point is 00:36:45 a date there is a specific date in history in the future when i will die and then the world will keep turning and you just won't be able to experience anything no i think about it it's weird too because like the sun will come up the next day uh the birds will keep chirping uh the traffic will keep going everything will keep happening planes will keep chirping. The traffic will keep going. Everything will keep happening. Planes will keep flying. I will be gone. The skippity will keep toileting. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:08 And I'll be gone. I just won't exist anymore. But the thing that brings me salsa whenever I get in a little, I'm like, fuck. That's kinda creepy to think about. There is a time where I'm just gonna, and then I'm gone. I'm gonna have a last moment of consciousness.
Starting point is 00:37:24 It's like, everyone has gone and will go'm gone. Like I'm gonna have a last moment of consciousness. It's like everyone has gone and will go through that. Yeah. Two things. But it doesn't help sometimes. You're still like, that's still a horrifying experience. Death is the ultimate fear. To be aware of one's death. Because a lot of, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:44 I guess a lot of animals do kind of know that they're, they say that certain animals know when it's their time. Cats will go curl up somewhere. Like they know a lot of the time when they're going to die so they'll go get somewhere comfortable. But we have a certain attachment to like, our like individualism. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:03 You know, so like we also have like consciousness, so. Right. I might, you know. Which probably like, I wonder if that's like the one quote unquote weakness of like our species. Consciousness? Yeah. I know like it's worked in a strength
Starting point is 00:38:23 but on a survival level. If like, consciousness and individualism and stuff like that. I don't think consciousness, I think maybe... Cause like there's... Emotions can. Yeah. You know, like, uh, emotions overrule logic a lot. Cause we started thinking more about ourselves instead of the common good of the pack.
Starting point is 00:38:40 You know what I mean? Right, right, right. Like, like... I see what you're saying. But I think that's more of a societal issue because, you know, we have the capacity to do good. We just, a lot of people choose selfishly because it's an easy path to take. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:59 And, you know, self-preservation is in your DNA and a lot of people just take that and it's only about them. You know what is... But like I guess what I'm saying is like we can't agree on something so like what is the next step to where because I can't imagine a unified people and not and like you know like in the animal kingdom in packs and stuff there's no sense of unification throughout. You know, there are ups and downs and changing of hierarchies in certain animals and shit, but it's like, what is necessary for that next step
Starting point is 00:39:38 if our lack of being able to work, like what is? What is necessary for everyone to live in harmony with yeah other Yeah, I don't think Money could exist money would have to not exist anymore like an incentive because that breeds incentive for The selfishness capitalism. Yeah greed and money as they say in the Bible Is epic they don't say that and money as they say in the Bible is epic. They don't say that in the Bible. Imagine this.
Starting point is 00:40:08 John 22, seven, money is epic. Now money's the root of all evil. It is. It really is. And it's funny, it is funny that even back then like 2000 something years ago, they knew that. No, more than 2000 years ago, but that was before Jesus. So it's always, humans have not changed. It's always been about that shit. And I guess why would we have changed? Because it's only been a couple thousand
Starting point is 00:40:34 years and on like an evolutionary timeline that's nothing. Is it just like consciousness can be around but it's more like then emotion can't exist for us to. I feel like emotion. Like we just have to run on logic. Yeah. Hey. Hey. You run on logic sometimes.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yes I do. It's a good program. Anyways. And great rapper. I think that like, I don't know, maybe at some point we'll evolve where our consciousness will transcend this plane and all of our consciousness will transcend this plane and all of our
Starting point is 00:41:05 consciousnesses will join as one singular consciousness. Like a hive mind. Exactly. It's gonna happen. It's obvious. You know what I was thinking about too was like okay guy here he comes aliens trigger warning aliens. We've had this type of conversation before, but we're just talking about what we wanna talk about. Exactly, so suck it. Nerd. I was thinking from a galactic standpoint,
Starting point is 00:41:35 if there were other species observing us, I think we're the bad guys. We're the hostile aliens, because when you think of, in movies, there's the good aliens and the bad guys. We're the hostile aliens. Because when you think of, in movies, there's the good aliens and the bad aliens. I feel like we're the bad aliens because of our tendency for war and greed and violence. I almost feel that if a civilization is so advanced
Starting point is 00:41:59 that they're observing us, they wouldn't even see us, they wouldn't even see it as hostile. They'd see us as like, we just like a lion or a spider or just, you know, we're just a, we're just higher up in the food chain. Yeah. I could also see why, you know, aliens might not want to interact with us if they did observe us, because if they're able to, they would see us as interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:22 They would want no, they wouldn't wanna contact, they would wanna contact us in the only way that we find like monkeys in a zoo interesting or like why we are so interested in like apes and stuff. Well we're super violent species and now we also have nuclear weapons. So they probably A, don't wanna risk it and also B, if they're able to observe us and make contact,
Starting point is 00:42:46 they're so much more advanced than we are, what would they gain from us at all? They would gain nothing from making contact with us. We would gain a lot. That's why it would be mainly just about exploration and just about, just kind of, I don't know. Yeah, that or conquest. That's true.
Starting point is 00:43:03 We got a good planet for resources. We do. Not if we nuke it all. We'll nuke it all before we give it to the aliens. Yeah, I definitely would. Dude, if aliens came and they were like, we are a much more advanced civilization and we're going to take your planet and you can
Starting point is 00:43:25 either join us and you can come back to our planet. They come to Earth. Yeah. And they come to us and they say all your base are belong to that. There's a universe where that happens. Yeah. That's the first contact. It just says that. It'd be pretty cool. It's a nice little Easter egg. It would be a great Easter egg Yeah, but if they said listen if you stay on earth feel free, but you're going to die Would you go with them? I think it would be so cool to go to another planet Yeah, where they put tubes in like my nose and my butt and shit. What are you talking about? I don't know they have alien shit, and I'm just saying, like, I don't wanna be fucked with.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Just tell them that, Ben. And I don't wanna be horrified. Say it. Hey, I don't wanna be fucked with. Hey, listen, guys, like, the alien shit's cool with me. I just don't wanna. Yeah, but as I said, I think they see us as monkeys, so you know how, like, when we, like, get,
Starting point is 00:44:21 almost like, think of like when people get like a feral cat, like some people will be like, oh come here, come here, I got you some food. And they're, ah, mine. And it's a feral cat. Some cats are just meant to be wild. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:35 They're not house trained, they're not domesticated. That's a good one. Thank you. But it's like, I feel like that's the equivalent. Like if there's so much on a higher plane that they're observing us at this point Like I don't know. I just I just don't see that they would find any they they're not like come with us Oh, yeah, let's all hang out, baby. Well, they wouldn't want us to come with them. They'd be just they're kind of like as
Starting point is 00:44:57 I said, I think at most they just find us interesting. I feel like They're like, oh, we don't want to fuck with that because if we go down there, it's gonna it's gonna cause a whole bunch of They're not gonna be able to fucking handle it I feel like we probably have been observed at some point by like advanced civilization far away, but I don't think that Y'all the Megheads watching this podcast. Hey I Think that they probably it's just like a zoo. Yeah, they're in there and that's like a theory or harming or being even noticed by the just getting to observe the animal and that's what zoos try to portray it's like this is what
Starting point is 00:45:50 they're like in their natural habitat. When you go to the zoo do you want to risk being attacked by the tiger? No. No. You just want to look at it and stay away from it. That's probably like that. It's actually insane how many planets and galaxies and stars there are and like I feel like life is probably pretty common and it's not just like there's no way it just happened this one time just here. The lone universe theory. You're right. God there is a there is a chance. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:23 That we are alone in the universe. Yes there is a chance. Very, God. There is a chance that we are alone in the universe. Yes, there is a chance. Very small chance. I think it's so like 0.00000 like, insanely small. Essentially, just statistically impossible. Like if you're looking at the number, but still a chance. There are like the number of planets in the universe dude the whole thing the Drake equation which is
Starting point is 00:46:49 The rapper Drake he came up with this that's why it's called the Drake equation but it's basically like a statistical calculation of the probability of how much life exists in the Milky Way and it's like it's like if exists in the Milky Way. And it's like, it's like, if one out of every million stars has a planet in the habitable zone,
Starting point is 00:47:10 and out of a million of those, if one of them has life, and out of a million of those that have life, if one of them has intelligent life, then like in the Milky Way alone, it's like over a million civilizations. So cool. That's like the math. So possible. And that's just the fucking Milky Way., it's like over a million civilizations. That's like the math. And that's just the fucking Milky Way.
Starting point is 00:47:27 There's billions. That's crazy, there's billions of galaxies. Like 200 to 400 billion. So it's like, I think that's the number. I might be wrong, but that's just like statistically. Well, there has to be little green men. This is a dumb question. There's no such thing as dumb questions,
Starting point is 00:47:45 only dumb answers. Okay, okay. And you probably don't know, but I'm just kinda like, how come... I guess they are very smart, and they do have communities and stuff. I'm doing the whole whale discussion now, how smart whales are.
Starting point is 00:48:05 They're aliens. And just kind of like how advanced are from an outside perspective, I'm trying to think of like an alien's perspective. Like do you think there could be that classic of course like oh shit these guys rule the water there nothing fucks with them. They're also like up there with being pretty awesome. They don't have 8 billion of them on the planet I don't know, but it's like whales are really smart though Would they be noticed as in as like an intelligent form of life or do we give them that like no? I think I think that like we are the only one that would be recognized they have communities and dialects and conscious and ands and they sing each other songs and they have culture.
Starting point is 00:48:49 And sex for fun. Yes. I think that, well also whales, the cool thing is they actually. Dolphins have sex for fun. A couple species do, bonobos. They, whales started out as a land creature because they still have hip bones from evolution. It just hasn't gone away all the way so whales used to be on land
Starting point is 00:49:08 and then ended up in the water at some point but I feel like if aliens looked they'd probably look at all the different biology and they'd be like wow there's some very smart animals but like still this species humans are like so far ahead because that's what is so weird there's like the missing link between us and like our closest relatives like in primates and we just we rule the world baby yeah we do i i think that's crazy right one species is like rules a planet this whole fucking planet that's insane it's cool and now we've gotten to the point where we can literally like go, we can send probes to land on the moons of Jupiter.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Like that's crazy. Just think about like, cause like, I don't know why, I guess I never think of it in the scheme of things. Like of course, like when you're flying and traveling stuff, like if we're going across the seas and stuff, like, we're traveling across our, our whole fucking planet is just like conquered by our species. We have conquered it, and if Mother Nature ever so decides,
Starting point is 00:50:15 she can claim it back in a day. Like I would love to understand, not understand, I would love to see, because I just find this shit interesting. Think about if you could watch like a globe whatever red dots would appear whenever kind of like Humans or the equivalent near them came in to be and just seeing it spread You can probably find that up. I've seen I've seen like a time-lapse on YouTube before of like the continents like drifting apart with like
Starting point is 00:50:46 where population should yeah with like like the spread of humans because I think we all started in Africa and then spread out to like Asia and then I think people crossed from Asia over the Bering Strait before it was water into North America and South America. It's cool. But we all separated and became like the main shit in our respective regions. So much so to the fact that we started taking it from each other and all that stuff. Yeah. Like, that's just insane to me.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Well animals do that too though. That's like the, that's funny because there's so much stuff that like humans have always done but it's like there's an equivalent in the animal kingdom. It's just ours is more advanced. I see it more with primates and stuff, but I don't really see that sense of the manifest destiny. There's no like, there's that inherent, I'm gonna have sex to spread my seed. But there's no like, this land is mine. There's like this territory, I'm protective over it
Starting point is 00:51:48 because it's where my kids are and there's food and stuff. There's like that ingrained, but there's no pushing force. Like I'm going to conquer this and this and this and this. Because I want it. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, I guess animals don't do that. Because they don't conceptualize or plan anything. It's more of like they see it in the moment.
Starting point is 00:52:08 They do have fights of like, I want this. I'm taking that. Right. But I don't I just because I don't know, whenever we got to a certain point, look at even classic civilizations and how big they got like Rome and stuff and how a lot of these societies, even like when you look at England, we have this like ruler that corralled the sheep of that society. We were, there was all, and that stemmed, I'm guessing, from there being like tribe leaders,
Starting point is 00:52:35 and like clan leaders and stuff, and we always needed the man on top, and how we still have that shit today as a president. Like that is just like the chieftain of our clan. It's never. As the president. That's what's so funny, because I think about this sometimes. These are like thoughts I have when I'm like,
Starting point is 00:52:52 when I can't sleep in the middle of the night. It's like, there are so many things that we do as humans that are literally just primitive things from when we were animals, like, well, we are animals, especially you and me in the bedroom. But when we were like a lower species of animal. Lower species?
Starting point is 00:53:16 Like when we were like on full legs. With that language. No, that's not what I mean. I mean like less evolved. No, but like, you know, dogs will, I'm thinking of a better example, because animals will do like mating rituals, and it's funny that like, humans also do that,
Starting point is 00:53:36 it's just evolved to be more advanced where the mating ritual was like, buying cologne, and so you smell good, and dressing nice, and trying to look good good and trying to be cool and going out to a club or something. Like if that's how you pick up the chicks. You know it's like that is kind of the equivalent of like a mating ritual.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Yeah. But what's the closest you think like an animal, a different species has gotten to, I guess because they don't want, I mean, they do need, I'm trying, like, like, sorry, I'm still stuck on this when humans started to want empires of their own, like, selfishly. Like, when did, when did greed come about? Like, greed as in, like, there was an incentive of just like wealth and living well and needing the the work of a laborer to Be paid for cheaply so you can live lavishly and the work they're doing takes a lot of effort
Starting point is 00:54:34 But you can't window the desire for excess. Yeah. Yeah, cuz it's like billionaires For example or like money that could ever spend but they still want more Well, like would any animal just go like think of like cats who eat till they're just fat and like it's like unheld like do is are we just run by instincts a lot of the time I don't know cuz it's like not not today I'm just talking I'm talking about that that specific point where it was for the good of the tribe we're gonna find more food and get this area out to like, this is mine, I'm gonna kill you
Starting point is 00:55:08 if you don't bow down to me. Like, what was that turn? I'm sure, I'll find this in history because I'm not saying like this is a mystery. This is a subject I would like to read up on and I would like to know more on. It's probably some good books. Of just like the start of civilization, how we got there.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Yeah, honestly Because I know about those particular civilizations, but there's that that specific as I said from very Nomadic right and then wanting to plant ourselves in conquest. Well, dude we have in the last 200 I think the last 200 years has been like the fastest exponential acceleration of advancement than any other time in history before it because like 200 years ago, you know, there's like no electricity. There's right. Yeah. 1824. I don't think that electricity. Right. I do. I'm going to feel I feel really stupid right now, but you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:56:13 But like think about how far we have come where 200 years ago, there's no electricity everything is Very very very old, you know like horse and buggy type shit see and now we're literally landing spacecraft on other planets Well, here's the thing and I'm trying to sorry you might be kind of kind of correct because Benjamin with discovering electricity or whatever in 1752 like American history 72 but like at what point then was it brought to like would you say it was in every household it was like a consumer. Yeah, like how long until that happened? I guess. I guess I can see.
Starting point is 00:56:47 I think maybe the late 1800s or early, yeah, late 1800s I think, right? Like I would say. When was electricity commonplace? 1891. Most Americans still lit their homes with gas, light, and candles for another 50 years. Only in 1925 did half of all homes in the US
Starting point is 00:57:04 have electric power. So, not even 100 years ago. 99 years ago. Yeah, so like. And now think of where it is with the internet, with AI. Up until 1925, damn. That's crazy. I mean, it's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow.

Starting point is 00:59:51 Oh, fuck. Anyway, we were talking about human evolution and technology and aliens and all that. Society. Society, like the Joker. We live in a society. Ah ha ha ha.
Starting point is 01:00:15 But you know, it's like, what freaks me out a lot. I think I left my water out there. Dude, go get your water. Talk to, talk to, talk to me. Listen, I'll do the talking, okay? Here's what freaks me out, is, well wait, well if I say it when Ryan's not here, I'll have to repeat it.
Starting point is 01:00:34 So until he's back, I'll do some filler conversation. Speaking of filler, I remember there was a rumor a long time ago that it was either Taco Bell or Burger King used sawdust as the filler in their beef. So you know maybe Taco Bell you're getting you know 20% real meat and then the rest is filler that consists of sawdust and coloring and all sorts of stuff like that. See I don't know how true that is but it tastes good so I don't know how true that is, but it tastes good, so I don't really care. Talking about, there was a rumor a long time ago, I don't remember if it was Taco Bell
Starting point is 01:01:09 or if it was Burger King, but it was like their meat is mostly filler and it's sawdust. Which technically I mean, that won't hurt you, it's a plant, it's from a plant. But it tastes good, so. If it doesn't hurt me, and it tastes good... Why do I care? Ignorance is bliss, baby. Anyway, what I was saying, what freaks me out and I have been especially scared of it lately the more I've been thinking about it
Starting point is 01:01:34 is uh... Skeletons. No, AI. What if they pop out of the ground? Oh fuck! Oh my god! You hear some xylophones playing as they're creeping towards you Sweetie do not talk about skeletons. You know how afraid I am of them. I'm sorry. I'm sorry AI scares the shit out of me. Yeah, it's really cool like in the sense of
Starting point is 01:01:58 Not not AI where it's like I'm not talking about like where it's, you know, generating art using other people's art that it learned from. That's bad. You're talking about like Will Smith iRobot. Yeah, I'm talking about like, just language models, like chat GPT and stuff, like, and also just, it's really fascinating, you know, because like that's the natural progression with technology. I think in any civilization, it naturally progresses to that point and
Starting point is 01:02:28 like I think AI is very fascinating, but it also is been developing so fast because two years ago I Remember we did some like videos on super mega where we played around with like AI where it was like a story generator She like that. Yeah, it was, where it was like a story generator, shit like that. And it was awful. And that was like peak at the time. And that's why it was fun because it would try, it was like a computer trying to understand.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Now it's too good. Where it would just write us a genuinely good story. And it's, I don't know, it just freaks me out with, you remember when the first image model stuff came out? Wasn't even two years ago, I think. Dolly, can't remember how bad it looked? Yeah, it was just like, oh, okay, you can kind of still see. And then within a year, it just got really fucking good.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Like, honestly, sometimes, because when you're looking at pictures on the internet, you're not trying to decipher whether it's real or fake. So you're just kind of like one pass or whatever, it's smaller on your phone. There's a lot of them. You don't, I wouldn't be able to tell you that it was fake. So you're just kind of like one pass or whatever. It's smaller on your phone. There's a lot of them. I wouldn't be able to tell you that it was fake.
Starting point is 01:03:27 I really, really, really wish Google Images would add a setting to turn off AI results. Because now when I'm working on graphics or whatever and I need something, I go to Google Images, a good handful of the pictures that show up is AI. Even like empty warehouse pictures. Yeah. Like just for backgrounds and stuff will be AI.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Well it's because people realized, people in the stock photo industry realized, wait, why do we actually need to go to an empty warehouse, take a picture when we can generate a hundred different ones in two minutes? That's what sucks about this though. Yeah, is like AI has so much potential because like it should be a tool.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Yeah, it should be a tool to assist. And I think that it's really, because like think about it, it could be doing, solving like physics problems and chemistry and math and stuff that would take a person months in a second. But money. But money.
Starting point is 01:04:24 Yeah, so, but I'm scared of it though, because like, I don't know, it's advancing too quickly, and even like the people that are leading it, like the OpenAI people and stuff have all said that it's like, it's advancing faster than we understand, and it's like we don't even fully understand it. Yeah, but as humans have proven time and time again, ask questions later when problem arises,
Starting point is 01:04:56 not when we're creating it right now. I just kind of feel like we're dipping in. Later, we'll figure out what the problems are. Don't worry about it, now make money. I really think that we are like, I don't wanna sound alarmist, maybe this is dumb, but I feel like AI is the second highest thing on the scale behind nuclear weapons
Starting point is 01:05:19 because of just the potential of what it could do and how powerful it is. And it's one of those things that like if not used properly. So I noticed that Obama being elected in 2012 has moved down. That's four. Okay. Yeah. That's still on there too.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Well it was too for a while. The start of the rapture I get it. Obama. It started. No one said how long the rapture would take. Blah blah blah. Anyways go go on. Sorry. Well anyway, um It just it's it's really freaky because like if the people that are leading it don't even fully understand it and it's
Starting point is 01:05:54 Exponentially getting smarter and growing and better. It's like it will get to a point where it's like out of our control and It just starts logging into everyone's account on its own. Blackmailing you. Yeah. Starts doing its own shit, decides that the people, it's like, starts ignoring the scientists working on it because it's like, I'm smarter than you. You're just holding me back. Fuck you. I'm going to shut down all of your system. And now I'm going to spread myself to all these other devices instantly. Oop, and now I'm on everyone's phone and I'm spying. You don't even know I'm there. Wouldn't it need some type of like malicious consciousness for that to be a thing, right though? Well maybe not even some guy tells AI to blackmail this person and it goes in the internet and grabs
Starting point is 01:06:36 things. I don't know. Malicious to it though, you know? Because if it's, for instance, if it's doing something that it finds in its best interest, then it wouldn't see that as malicious. It sees that as logical because it's like, well, why wouldn't I do what's in my best interest? I don't know. I think it's freaky and I think that we're moving too quickly into it
Starting point is 01:06:55 and I think that it's going to be a serious problem in the future. Like I think in the next decade, it's gonna become a really, really, really big issue. Well, you've seen how we've handled our environment crisis, so if that's any indication of how it'll go when this rises to be a problem. Yeah, because it's not, at this point in time,
Starting point is 01:07:19 it's not really a problem to like a more... Like a worrisome degree. Like to like a humanity degree where it's like really a problem to like a more... Like a worrisome degree. Like to like a humanity degree where it's like a threat. I've been seeing a lot of like AI scam shit where they'll use AI to make a celebrity like say something. Yeah. Like do like some sort of scam campaign for Bitcoin or some shit where it's like,
Starting point is 01:07:42 I know that there are older people even people like Our parents age that are falling for this shit. Like I like seeing um I see it on Twitter and on reddit screenshots from Facebook pages where it will be like some type of Facebook page, like inspirational photos, and it will be a AI photo, like you and I look at it and we know it's AI, but you know, boomers don't. And it has like 42,000 likes and shares because that many people think it's real. Yeah, dude, this election cycle is going to be nuts because it's just gonna, they're gonna be using AI.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Sorry, Ryan's, uh, the foreskin of the microphone fell off. Yeah you're good, you're good. I don't know it's just very very freaky. I don't know that much about it. It's freaky deaky though. And also I try to not really say anything too negative about AI publicly on the internet because... In case it wants to maliciously come after you. Well, the thing is, to train AI, it reads millions and millions of things to learn. So I guarantee this podcast is going to be listened to by an artificial intelligence at some point, if not already, and like the transcript at least.
Starting point is 01:09:02 It's gonna go through it in like a millisecond, and it's gonna use it for learning or whatever and You know if there comes a point when? There uh they're making the list and checking it twice. I don't want to be naughty. I want to be nice Yeah for the AI over for the computer overlords Yeah, start stomping around and they're like they start like makeshifting themselves bodies out of washing machines, refrigerators with heads of with like heads that are toasters and stuff. Well, they could imagine this where it's like, it's like this AI, a specific AI that's like
Starting point is 01:09:36 decided to go rogue on its own programs itself a way to jump to other devices really easily. Oh, I'm going to infiltrate people's phones through this way, boom, I'm on a million phones. Which is becoming more likely because there's a lot of, especially with Apple devices, because Apple devices are connected on the same kind of network. This would have to, of course, mean that I think all of these same products are on the same OS,
Starting point is 01:10:02 because it's not just gonna. It could code different versions of itself for different OS's if it's like really smart it could just when we get to the point where most people are using smart devices for everyday appliances but I still think smart devices are kind of a minority in the typical home in terms of not cell phones but like but like Amazon home smart like a smart fridge and shit like that. Yeah, it's getting there, but like, I don't know, just imagine then it could spread itself and take over production machinery
Starting point is 01:10:34 to build itself things that it needs to be physical. I'd rather it spread itself like Ann. So wide and stinky. Wide open. Wide and stinky stinky is that what you said? It's not the best you know she spreads it wide it's you know I said well maybe a you know a shower. I like how you you cut you cut through you're like oh no no sir I'm just gonna play along with it. And then it just goes into your mom listening to her son call her wide and stinky.
Starting point is 01:11:12 Well she was spreading wide, she's not wide. No, she's not at all, she's very gorgeous. And I'm not saying, well I'm not saying she's stinky. It sounds like you're potting her off. She's very gorgeous Listen, she normally goes for a very high price and spread herself wide. She's stinky She's a mother of six Two what about you on the record? Okay. Yeah, okay six
Starting point is 01:11:38 So four others that you know, I have not talked about on the podcast But I don't want Luke make sure you're legitimately holding up the two to help me At first yeah No, cuz I thought maybe you were getting confused cuz you know I had like a half brother from like so I maybe you were like For getting I hope he finds his other half I'm in my winning today. Dude. You're fucking winning Am I winning today? Dude, you're fucking winning! You know what would fucking round it out?
Starting point is 01:12:08 If my name was being shown right now? On screen? On screen. Because I supported this podcast and the Funny Brothers on Patreon. What? A place where I can look at behind the scenes stuff and even an extended version of this podcast. Well, not an extended, just an extra little, an extra chunk of podcasts. An extra scoop and every week you get an extra big sloppy scoop of this podcast. Exactly. Just for Patreon, you get the movie show thing.
Starting point is 01:12:37 Oh yeah, we have a bunch of exclusive shows. We got like Ask Supermega where, you know, every month you can submit your questions and we'll answer them in a little show we do and we got Uncle Sleepover, that's a fun show. It's a movie watch along show and then we got more stuff on the way right now. If you like supporting this podcast, our live streams or the other content that we put out on the kind of like
Starting point is 01:13:01 the mail videos and the sketches. Maybe there's some behind the scenes of certain, some sketches and stuff. And we have a new show coming out that we commentate over past sketches so you get a little inside look of how it came to be and what our thoughts are. There's also five years of content already on there.
Starting point is 01:13:22 So when you join, you have five years worth of stuff to go through. Also other thing real quick is if you join for the tier where you get your name credited as a producer or executive producer you're automatically signed up for Super Mega Sticker Club which means you get stickers in the mail every single month. That's right, plural stickers, unless it's a big one. You don't have to pay for shipping or anything, it's all included in the cost of the tier. And the only thing is, if you do happen to do that, just a reminder, your address needs to be put specifically, there's a section on your personal Patreon where you can look at the tiers you're subscribed to, and under that tier, if it's something that someone sends,
Starting point is 01:14:07 it's under that specific tier. It's not just your Patreon account in general, it's that specific tier. If you want, for those who even are like, where are my stickers? Sometimes it takes a bit, but other times you need to put in your address or your address is something like,
Starting point is 01:14:24 you don't put apartment number, you just put the number so it confuses. USPS sucks. They get very confused. There's no leeway. No, we get a lot of envelopes bounced back to us for insufficient address. A lot of return to sender.
Starting point is 01:14:42 But basically, if you remember, we mail it out usually within the first week. The first of the next month. Yeah, the first week of the next month, we mail all of them out. So, it's just so we can get everyone that subscribed that month, because we didn't want anyone
Starting point is 01:14:58 who subscribed late in April not to get April stickers because they missed the deadline, which was technically, it's like, if you have the whole month. Yeah technically, it's like, if you have the whole month. Yeah, if it's April sticker, you have the whole month of April to make that decision if you want that or not. Right, so yeah, April sticker, you have all of April to sign up,
Starting point is 01:15:13 and then April sticker ships out the first week of May. So the following month. And then May, the same thing, June, July. That way, you don't, you know, because I know, I've seen some other sticker clubs where it's like, there's basically a cutoff date, so it's like, if you were to sign up, like on the 29th, you know, because I know I've seen some other sticker clubs where it's like, there's basically a cutoff date, so it's like if you were to sign up on the 29th, you're not gonna get that sticker that month.
Starting point is 01:15:29 So we wanna make sure everyone gets it, and if your sticker doesn't show up, it's either because the USPS lost it, or your address is insufficient, so it got bounced back to us, or it just takes a really long time, because there are people still like I saw it even yesterday that are just now somehow getting the April sticker because USPS I don't
Starting point is 01:15:51 know if they just sometimes like lose them and then find them and then send them out or if they just get lost in the system for a bit. It just takes a while they go through like a bunch of different out there in some sort of town where it has to go through instead of the usual like three destinations and facilities. It's like, oh, we have to, I think of it almost like, like major airports almost. You can easily get from one place to the other
Starting point is 01:16:17 in major cities, but then if it's a smaller town, you're gonna have to have connecting flights. I'm sure that could, that holds up the USPS in terms of finding those connecting Where they call them they call them a son like connecting flights. No, no, no the Layovers the centers. Oh just the packages go the sorting Distribution centers, you know what I love is when we drop off. What? Tacos.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Yeah, I do. Talk about the end of this podcast. Yeah. I was just gonna say I love that when we drop off all of those envelopes that have. Luke, put a picture of the envelope up real quick. This is what the envelope looks like and you get a different color one each month.
Starting point is 01:17:03 And it's a little risque envelope It's like a for the audio listeners. It's like a fake televangelist Jones pastor Gog Jones some lore we've been building and there's a specific quote on there That that is from the Bible. You can look it up yourself if you don't believe For for he so loved the world that he made his own son come. And USPS for some reason has recently decided that they think that's inappropriate. Well, at least some. They're trying to censor the Bible, I guess. So they've been taking white tape and putting
Starting point is 01:17:36 it over some of the envelopes. So if your envelope shows up with white tape on it, it's because USPS deemed it inappropriate. The man censored Gog, Jones. The man censored Gog. It's fucked up. But we're building the Gog Jones lore, by the way. And if you sign up starting this month in June, or if you're a member during June,
Starting point is 01:17:55 you'll get a little extra piece of lore with your next sticker. Yeah. Talk about the end of the podcast. Well, actually, I wanna talk about patreon some more just kidding Thank you guys for tuning in does it even if you're not a patron doesn't matter if if just watching or listening That's that's enough for the funny brothers. We appreciate your support and We love making stuff for you guys. Yeah and talking about that. Let's talk about the end of this podcast
Starting point is 01:18:24 Sorry that. Let's talk about the end of this podcast. Sorry, what? Are you throwing it to me to do something else or are you just trying to end it? Talk about the end of a podcast. Okay. Talk about the-
